"Every member of Skynyrd has been fans of Bad Company from the get go," Skynyrd singer Johnny Van Zant said in a press release. "Personally, Paul [Rodgers] is one of my favorite rock singers. We have a deep appreciation for Bad Company's music and look forward to being on the road with them and sharing the stage."

2013 marks the 40th anniversary of Bad Company's formation, as well as the 40th anniversary of Lynyrd Skynyrd's debut album, "(Pronounced Leh-nerd Skin-nerd)."

Rodgers leads the Bad Company supergroup, comprised of original members Mick Ralphs (guitar) and Simon Kirke (drums), along with Howard Leese (guitar) and Todd Ronning (bass). The outfit hasn't released a studio set since 1996's "Stories Told & Untold," though the live set "Live at Wembley" surfaced in 2011.
